Hi everyone,
I got accepted to DCOM and plan to matriculate in the fall for class of 2018. I plan on buying a [cheaper] house in the area (no mortgage planned) since I have a family and don't want to borrow money just to pay someone else rent. I'm just wondering for those with homes and are medical students, is it worth it holding on to property in the tri-state area for 4 years? Have the home values been slumping or is it projected to? Is renting a pain (time-wise, emotionally, money sink)? I don't expect to earn a profit from this venture, I just want to preserve as much capital I can by the eventual sale/ renting out of this home after I leave instead of giving money to a landlord. Thanks for your input!
